    Also anyone else that wishes to host future shows please do say so here, we need a host for the next re-watch.

    I would like to do 1988 at some point, maybe 1983 as well.

    i'm going to see how it goes tonight Terry before throwing my hat into the ring ;)

    I'd go for the car crash of 1991, the sheer quality of 1994 and echo you with 1988

    I'll post up the voting link for tonight's contest when the phone lines open.

    I've always thought 84 was one of the best of that period.

    We are going to be watching 1998 tonight.

    Hopefully with more years to follow very soon too.

    Oh by the way, I am going to be using dailymotion tonight because youtube doesn't have the contest with British commentary.

    I know Wogan is probably your least favourite person in the world but we should try and keep it real to life, and he was pretty good pre Jemini era so he shouldn't annoy us too much.

    Damn! My laptop is on the blink and I can't seem to get in on my ipad or phone - I can see you all in there and can enter my name but then the screen just freezes.

    Any ideas?

    Mine crashed and won't let me back in. Ah well, it was the last vote and I know Israel wins. :P

    If you could post the Scorewiz link in here once all the votes are in, that'd be great

    Wasn't so much of a memory lane as an introduction to 1998 for me, because I was only 3 when I saw it first, but thanks nonetheless! :D

    Sorry I missed this tonight!

    I'd love to host a 60s contest one week. I'm in the mood for some chansons.
